%N Number of reduced words of length n in Coxeter group on 21 generators S_i with relations (S_i)^2 = (S_i S_j)^17 = I.

%C The initial terms coincide with those of A170740, although the two sequences are eventually different.

%C First disagreement at index 17: a(17) = 13762559999999999999790, A170740(17) = 13762560000000000000000. - _Klaus Brockhaus_, Mar 30 2011

%C Computed with MAGMA using commands similar to those used to compute A154638.
